MRI during brain metastasis surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This study uses an MRI scan during surgery to help doctors remove brain metastases more completely. It may help ensure that all tumor tissue is removed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled to have surgery to remove a brain metastasis.
- You are 18 years or older.
- You can safely have an MRI scan (no metal implants or devices that are not MRI-safe).

This trial tests giving targeted radiation while surgeons are operating to treat brain metastases. It may help control the cancer locally at the time of surgery, especially for certain single lesions.
This study tests a new MRI (brain scan) method to see how brain tumors change over time after treatment. There are also parts for healthy adults to help with developing and comparing the scan technique.
This study tests a special MRI technique to better distinguish between tumor regrowth and radiation-related changes in people with brain tumors. If you've had radiation for a brain tumor and now have suspicious changes, this scan might help guide your next steps.
This study uses a special MRI technique to look at brain tumors before surgery. It may help doctors tell if a tumor is more or less aggressive, which can guide treatment decisions.
This study uses MRI scans to look for signs of brain tumour activity without needing additional surgery. If you are already having brain surgery, the researchers will compare the MRI images with the tumour tissue to better understand the cancer.
This study tests whether MRI scans can replace CT scans to map bone tumors and plan surgery. If successful, it may allow some patients to avoid CT radiation.
